It is easier for me to believe that Durwood Merrill committed fraud than it is to believe that the ball is from Nolan Ryan's 300th victory.
Merrill was not at the game.
The home plate umpire who was at the game went to prison for fraud, in regards to baseball from this game.
Merrill could have been given the ball by the home plate umpire who worked the game, and been told that it was from that game, and believed him, so he didn't necessarily commit fraud, but the ball can't be proven to be real, either way.
The ball COULD be real. Maybe. Possibly.
Probably not.
